MAGIC observation of Globular Cluster M13 and its millisecond pulsars
Based on MAGIC observations from June and July 2007, we present upper limits to the E > 140 GeV emission from the globular cluster M13. Those limits allow us to constrain the population of millisecond pulsars within M13 and to test models for acceleration of leptons inside their magnetospheres and/or surrounding. We conclude that in M13 either millisecond pulsars are fewer than expected or they...
متن کاملThe Mildly Metal-poor Globular Cluster M4: Star-to-star Abundance Variations in 20 Giants
Many low-metallicity globular clusters exhibit large star-to-star variations of C, N, O, Na, Mg, & Al abundances. In higher-metallicity clusters, the abundance swings are muted. Evidence of anticorrelations of O versus Na and Mg versus Al exists in classical northern-hemisphere clusters spanning a range of metallicities, –0.8 ≤ [Fe/H] ≤ –2.2. These and other anticorrelations, observed to be a f...
متن کاملProbing the faintest stars in a globular star cluster.
NGC 6397 is the second closest globular star cluster to the Sun. Using 5 days of time on the Hubble Space Telescope, we have constructed an ultradeep color-magnitude diagram for this cluster. We see a clear truncation in each of its two major stellar sequences. Faint red main-sequence stars run out well above our observational limit and near to the theoretical prediction for the lowest mass sta...
متن کاملHow Clumpy Star Formation Affects Globular Cluster Systems
There is now clear evidence the metallicities of globular clusters are not simple tracers of the elemental abundances in their protocluster clouds; some of the heavy elements were formed subsequently within the cluster itself. It is also manifestly clear that star formation is a clumpy process. We present a brief overview of a theoretical model for how self-enrichment by supernova ejecta procee...
متن کاملGlobular cluster systems in nearby dwarf galaxies - II . Nuclear star clusters and their relation to massive Galactic globular clusters . ⋆
We compare nuclear globular clusters (nGCs) in dwarf galaxies and Galactic GCs with extended (hot) horizontal branches (EHBs-GCs) in order to test the suggested external origin of the latter and the conditions at which GC self-enrichment can operate. Using luminosities and structural parameters of nGCs in low-mass (mainly late-type) dwarf galaxies from HST/ACS imaging we derive the present-day ...
